Xylitol has no Aldehyde or Ketone radicel, no Maillard Browning reaction when get heating, is good to produce different bakery foods.It can promote multiplication of Bafidobacterium and beneficial bacteria in the intestines, to improve gastrointestinal function, is a widely used functional additive by its high activity.Xylitol is not fermented by yeast, can be the inert substrate for microbe. Xylitol's cooling sensation can add the taste of food with mint and spearmint.
Xylitol anti-cariogenic characteristic
Xylitol has anti-caries function, can reduce the incidence of tooth decay when being chewed longer in the mouth. So it could be wildly used in gums, chewing gum, confectionery, chocolate and other foods; and used widely in Japan in medical and cosmetic products, special chewing gums added in Xylitol as sweetener for dental patients; and sugar free gum takes more than 50% market of the whole gum market in Europe.

Xylitol medical characteristic
Xylitol is used as cure treatment in the medical & sanitation area
1. As treatment agent for Diabetes Xylitol can provide an intermediate pathway for glucose conversion, when initial metabolism Xylitol doesnt need insulin (but can provoke the insulin excrete), can produce out phosphoric acid ribose through aldehydic acid Xylulose from glucose and aldehydic acid pentose, then comes out six-aldehydic acid glucose, and then further synthesis or oxygenation to get energy. Xylitol can adjust abnormal metabolism of glucose, when the patient lack of insulin, Xylitol can permeate the red blood cell membrane to help for the energy& nutrition utilization similar as the function of glucose and insulin. After consume Xylitol, patients&nb sp;will decrease the starvation, diabetes and related symptoms, and will cure after consume for a long period of time, to well restore the control of the diabetes complications.
2. Improve liver function Xylitol can slower the fatty acid process from the blood plasma, but will not raise the blood sugar level. After absorbed by the body, the lactic acid, pyruvic acid and glucose amount will decrease but insulin increase, and meantime the glycogen will also increase in the liver and help to reduce the
transaminase, to obtain a good treatment for Hepatitis B and Liver Cirrhosis patients. Xylitol can be an ideal treatment medicine to protect liver for Hepatitis patients, esp. patients who suffer both Hepatitis & amp; Diabetes.
3. Anti-ketone function, Xylitol can also be an ideal anti-ketone treatment medicine for Diabetic and Starvation Type ketosis patients.

Xylitols other medical function
1. Xylitol can well control the anabolism of glycerin, neutral fat and free fatty acids, thus to control the weight increase and to cure adiposis.
2. Xylitol is good of its thermal stability, and will not cause chemical reaction when being heated together with amino acid, can be used with amino acid for different kinds of dosages to treat high blood sugar, hyperlipidemia, hepatitis patients, and also for sugar free purpose, the special transfusion
medicine for oldness & weakness patients. Xylitol is slower absorbed by intestine compared with other sugars, can be used as laxation medicine for oldness constipation without any suffering and side-effect.

Where can we use Xylitol
1. To produce gum, chewing gum, toffee, soft candy, jelly, chocolate, chewing tablet and etc, can cool the throat, clean the teeth and be anti-cariogenic.
2. Being instead of sucrose to add in soft drink, milk, bread, preserved fruit, biscuit, yoghurt, jam, porridge and etc, to keep longer & better sweet taste because of its non-fermentability by yeast.
3. Added in cosmetic product and toothpaste, no sticky feeling and refreshing. Xylitol can keep moisture and improve the rough skin similar as glycerin.
4. Being good substitute to sucrose, to make dishes like sour & sweet pork or fish, very safe to diabetics. Our suggestion is no more than 40g / day for adult and half for child.
